Coming soon: Bike to Work Day, a birthday party for the Anchorage Museum and ‘goat yoga’

Bike to Work Day

This Friday is the 14th Anchorage Bike to Work Day, and there's no better excuse to bust out the tire pump and get your ride ready for summer. Last year, about 4,000 people participated, and organizers say this year there will be more than 40 snack stations throughout the municipality, as well as some fix-it stations and "other shenanigans" (you can check out a map at goo.gl/Ye6MfX). 6-9 a.m. Friday. Search "Bike to Work Day 2018" on Facebook for updates.

Kaladi block party

Caffeine-fueled Alaska institution Kaladi Brothers Coffee is hosting a block party at Sagaya City Market. There will be free stuff and fun activities: free hot dogs and sliders, Irish music, games, bike inspections from Trek Store, pet adoption from Friends of Pets and a scavenger hunt. But here's the one that'll make you look twice: goat yoga. Yes, there will be goats. Will they walk atop yoga practitioners in mid-chaturanga? You'll have to find out Saturday. 2-5 p.m. For events details and schedule, search "Goat Block Party" on Facebook.

(Also: goat yoga is a thing. Here's an informative video about it)
